It seems this combination hasn't been compared much before. Which one will you choose for yourself? Please cast a vote and feel free to share your reasons.

For me personally, NYU Tandon would be a better fit. They seem on a solid trajectory, given Peter Carr's leadership. MIT is fantastic, especially if you have a very solid math / engineering background. Their corporate finance sections are a huge differentiator, and one I think is missing from a lot of comparable programs. I already have a solid foundation there, hence, NYU tandon. But if I were an engineering student / hard core maths, I would go MIT.

That's very interesting. Why is that though? Is NYU Tandon less favored outside of the US?

I guess it's about school reputation and ranking
